Hi All,
sorry one question, i have a dl 145 server with two Hard discs, i think the Server have an Raid controller inside. In the manual i read "press F8 for configure your Raid controller" but nothig goes on when i press F8 at system startup, i'am confused, cause i only can press F10 for enter Bios but in that i fond nothing about a Raid, or i can press F12 for boot device or CTRL+S for the network controller. Maybe i didnt had a raid controller??? can someone help me?? Thanks in advanced.

Only some models of the DL145 server ship with an Integrated U320 dual-channel SCSI HBA.

Depending on your model of server & depending on what controller is installed, you will have a different key to press, to get into the RAID configuration. Normally these servers ship with a SATA controller with RAID 0 & RAID 1 support.

The DL145 G1 server seems to have either an IDE controller or optional U320 SCSI controller. I am not aware of either controllers supporting RAID.

You can check the product # of the server against the model specified in the quickspecs:

That's right, the HP 100 series servers do not have support for Smartstart, or it could be the other way around. :)

Good luck!

Review the BIOS at start up. If there is a RAID controller, there sill be settings there is enabel/disable it.
